Wildlife Problems in Mission Viejo, CA
Warm and sunny year-round, the suburban city of Mission Viejo, CA, attracts both travelers and new residents. Though nearby lakes and forests provide food and shelter for many animals, some wildlife pests invade neighborhoods to forage for scraps and find safe places to nest.
Squirrel Issues
Though small, ground squirrels can cause big problems for California homeowners. These rodents feast on fruits and nuts found in gardens, often damaging plants as they eat. Mission Viejo residents may also find ground squirrels burrowing around tree roots or stripping the bark from branches. The pests also gnaw on plastic sprinklers and irrigation lines.
Bat Roosts
From May to September in California, bats and their flightless young roost together in colonies. During these months, homeowners dealing with an infestation should avoid excluding the animals from attics. Baby bats cannot survive on their own. When they perish inside houses, their carcasses produce foul odors and attract insects like flies and cockroaches.
Hungry Raccoons
People may notice raccoons near Mission Viejo homes, as the pests have adapted well to urban spaces. In their natural habitats, berries, grains, and fish make up most of a raccoon's diet. However, the pests are also happy to eat from pet bowls and raid garbage cans as well as gardens.
Additional Nuisances in Mission Viejo
Californians may find opossums nesting beneath their porches and decks. While generally harmless, these animals can host fleas as well as diseases. Pet owners who see an opossum in the neighborhood should keep a close eye on their dogs and cats to reduce the risk of infection.
A rattlesnake will hunt for rodents in grassy areas around Mission Viejo. However, the reptiles sometimes slip into backyards to hide in woodpiles or hunt in tall grass. Rattlesnakes are venomous. They are also likely to strike if injured or provoked. Mission Viejo homeowners should mow regularly and keep lawns free from debris to deter rattlesnakes from hiding out in yards.
